Trump called for 25th Amendment changes ahead of Harris debate amid new questions about mental health: Life

Donald Trump wants his supporters to know that even though he lost the upcoming debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, he really won.

During a rally in Mosinee, Wisconsin, on Saturday, Trump primed his base, saying that even if he did well in the debate with Harris, he would still be attacked by the media.

“If I destroy him in the debate, he’ll say Trump had a humiliating debate tonight,” he told the MAGA faithful crowd on Saturday.

Justice Samuel Alito was informed on Friday that he received $900 worth of concert tickets from a German princess, but did not disclose the trip paid for by someone else, according to a new financial disclosure form.

The required annual filing, which Alito often requests an extension to, does not include details of event tickets provided by German socialite Gloria von Thurn und Taxis. Alito reported no outside income from teaching or book contracts.

The financial disclosures filed by Supreme Court judges come against a backdrop of heightened focus on ethics in the high court amid criticism of travel and undisclosed gifts from wealthy benefactors to some judges. Eight other judges filed forms in June; Alito received an extension.

Donald Trump, now the oldest candidate to run for president, is facing intense scrutiny about his age and mental acuity — and his biographer thinks Trump is “very aware” that he is cognitively exhausted and trying to cope with “complicated explanations,” according to report.

President Joe Biden is out of the 2024 race after a fumbled debate performance that left voters questioning his mental acuity. Now Trump is facing the same question and trying to explain his references to Hannibal Lecter, incomplete words, incomplete thoughts, combining the names of famous figures, and his love of rambling.

But that explanation led one Trump biographer to believe the GOP candidate knew he was losing his mind.

On Friday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics released its latest job numbers, which showed that the US economy added 142,000 jobs. That’s higher than the 99,000 jobs ADP predicted, but still lower than expected.

As he elaborated on sexual assault allegations against him in two lost defamation cases, Donald Trump said he was “very disappointed” in his legal team as half a dozen lawyers surrounded him in the lobby of Trump Tower on Friday.

Trump attended a brief oral argument at a federal appeals court hearing in Manhattan on Friday morning, where lawyers contested a $5 million defamation verdict against the former president, who a jury found responsible for sexually abusing author E Jean Carroll in a department store in 1990. – an.

Trump insisted he had never met Carroll and labeled him a liar, saying he was seeking a second defamation suit, which he lost earlier this year. A separate jury awarded Carroll more than $83 million.

Trump has threatened the European Union with more tariffs for not taking American cars and agricultural products.

“The European Union … is one of the most egregious. They don’t take our cars, they don’t take our agricultural products, and we have a $300 billion trade deficit with them,” he said. “They have to pay the price now, because we’ve supported it for a long time, and it’s no longer sustainable. Being the president of tariffs, I’m not the president of raising taxes, because we’re going to lower your taxes when I’m back in the White House.”

The last time Trump put tariffs on the EU, he retaliated with tariffs on goods from red countries like Harley-Davidson and Jack Daniels, threatening stock prices.

Trump said on Saturday afternoon that Robert F Kennedy Jr, an anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist, would be part of a “top panel of experts” to examine chronic health issues.

Trump said in Wisconsin that he wants to amend the 25th Amendment to remove the vice president if he is involved in a “conspiracy to cover up the president’s incompetence.”
